$5 Million and Above Lifetime Giving

All across the globe, children are dying from preventable causes, missing out on education due to poverty or gender, suffering from violence, exploitation and neglect and are vulnerable in times of crisis. In every corner of the world, children need a strong voice to stand up for them, work on their behalf and make their lives better.

Disney is vital to building our programs for children, and we are grateful to them for their unique contributions to Save the Children.

Disney

We salute the creative ways in which Disney works to make a lasting difference in children’s lives. In 2016, we were pleased to be included in Marvel Studios: Hero Acts, a charitable program focused on bringing help and hope to kids around the world. Fans were invited to post photos to unlock donations for Save the Children. Donations helped provide much-needed educational programs for nearly 123,000 children in Nepal, Haiti and the U.S. In 2018, we partnered once again when Marvel Studios took on New York Fashion Week with “Black Panther: Welcome to Wakanda,” a celebration of fashion featuring 10 designers who contributed pieces inspired by the Marvel film. Labels including Chromat, Cushnie et Ochs, LaQuan Smith, Ikiré Jones, Sophie Theallet and TOME participated with custom-made looks which were auctioned off through Charity Buzz to raise funds for Save the Children.

In collaboration with Save the Children, The Walt Disney Company has made significant commitments to emergency preparedness, response and recovery efforts throughout the world. Together, we have engaged children to work on disaster preparedness plans with their families in places like China, Peru and India using a co-developed Emergency Preparedness Activity Book. Disney characters – combined with Save the Children emergency tools and tips – help get lifesaving information into the hands of children.

During response and recovery efforts, Disney’s support enabled us to respond faster by prepositioning supplies to bring relief to affected families. We worked together to create PSAs to help get information out to the public and engage them in supporting our efforts. Additionally, Disney has made generous contributions to several global emergencies including the 2010 Earthquake and 2016 Hurricane Matthew in Haiti, Hurricane Sandy in the eastern U.S., Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines, and the Nepal Earthquakes. In 2017, Disney supported our response to Hurricane Irma in Florida, Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico, and the earthquake in central Mexico.

Pfizer

Pfizer Inc. and The Pfizer Foundation are valuable partners that provide support to address critical global health challenges. Our partnership features multiple pillars of collaboration, including transformational grants, disaster relief efforts, employee engagement, and identifying and building on best practices.

In 2019, as part of Save the Children’s Centennial Commitment to End Childhood Pneumonia, The Pfizer Foundation announced a three-year commitment to address preventable causes of child mortality, like pneumonia, which still needlessly takes the lives of children every day. The project aimed to increase access to and improve the quality of immunization services for vulnerable populations, addressing unique challenges in both urban and rural communities in Kenya. This project is part of Pfizer’s broader commitment to fight infectious disease and create a world safer from infection. 

Save the Children and The Pfizer Foundation also joined forces in Malawi  to integrate family planning services at routine immunization clinics. By providing family planning services at locations where mothers were already bringing their children for routine immunizations, we were able to increase uptake of family planning and enable mothers to better care for themselves and their children. 

Pfizer and Save the Children have also partnered through Pfizer’s Global Health Fellows Program that places Pfizer colleagues on skills-sharing assignments to help strengthen local health systems. Since 2012, more than thirty Pfizer colleagues have been in individual fellowship and team-based pro-bono projects with Save the Children in nine countries across Africa, Asia, and the US.

The Pfizer Foundation has also supported Save the Children in times of crisis, most recently in our response to the Ukraine crisis and the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as providing emergency support following disasters such as Cyclone Idai in Mozambique, Malawi and Zimbabwe in 2019, and in Sulawesi, Indonesia following the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami. In addition, employees have participated in hands-on volunteering activities to assemble comfort packs to displaced children.

*The Pfizer Foundation is a charitable organization established by Pfizer Inc. It is a separate legal entity from Pfizer Inc. with distinct legal restrictions.
